Mr. Spooner reported the bill to extend
the charter of the Firemen's Insurance
Company.
Mr. Allison said that as a desire had
been expressed for reconsideration of

to have it reconsidered at once The
purpose was to allow some unimportant
amendments to be made, and this was
done.
Mr.. Maxey secured consideration of a
bill to change the limits of judicial dis
trict in Texas, and Mr.. Cullom moved an
amendment to provide that the salary OF
United States judges shall be $4,000 per
annum, and that no relative shall be ap-
pointed by any judge as an officer OF the
court. Mr.. Cullom's amendment, leading
to some discussion, was withdrawn.
The consideration was resumed of the
bill creating the Department of Agricul-
ture and Labor.
WAsHINGToN, February 23.-Mr. Rea-
gan asked the unanimous consent for the
| Immediate consideration of the Senate
bill incorporating the Atlantic and Pa
cifc Ship Railway Company. Mr.. An.
derson objected, and the bill was referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Willis asked that the House con
cur in the Senate amendments to the
River and Harbor Appropriation bill; but
! Mr.. Anderson also objected to this re-
quest, which, if granted, would throw the
bill Immediately into conference, and the
bill was referred to the appropriate com
mittee.
Mr.. Willis Immediately reported it back
and upon a point of order it was sent to
the committee of the whole.

stitute for the Senate retaliation bill
and under special order asked for Its
| immediate consideration.
Mr.. Rice raised a point of order that
the substitute must be referred to the
committee of the whole on the ground
that it affected the,revenue.
The Speaker overruled the point of or
der. stating that there was nothing on
the face of the bill which showed that 1t
would either increase or reduce the reve-
nue..
In the course of a brief discussion as
to the limitation of the debate, Mr.. Rice
referred to the substitute as the Belmont
bill--a distinction which Mr.. Belmont dis
claimed, stating that it was a committee
bill and that it had the approval of those
who were best qualified to judge OF ouI
relations with other governments. 1t
was finally determined that the debate
should be limited to three hours. Mr.
Belmont opened the debate.

Victims of the Earthquake.

LONDON February 23.-At the time OF
the earthquakes this morning the Riviera
was crowded with English and American
tourists and persons of distinction.
When the first shock occurred the
streets of Nice were fairly thronged with
persons in ballroom costumes returning
to their homes from the last carnival Of
the winter season. To these the earth
quake came with peculiar terror. The
shocks were felt with great severity at
Savona, near Genoa, and number OF
houses were wrecked and eleven persons
killed at that place.
The Prince of Wales being at Cannes,
the Queen became exceedingly anxious
concerning him when she learned of the
earthquakes. Her Majesty at once tele-
graphed him. The Prince Immediately
telegraphed a reassuring reply, saying
that he was well and uniniured.
The Government, taking into consider
alton the popular concern about the
safety of the Prince, have requested him
by telegraph to return to England as
soon as he can conveniently Ito allay
anxiety"

ENDICOTT MUST GO.

Rumors that His Resignation Has Been Re-
quested-Snubbed by the President.
Washington Special to New York Sun.
Col William Crowninshield Endicott. nominal
Secretary of War. reported for duty this morn
ing. Major Lee, the youthful custodian of the
Secresary's person, mounted guard usual over
the approaches to the department, and kept at
bay such persons as attempted to intrude upon
his privacy with matters of public business.
After period of secusion the Secretary
emerged from his apartment and drove over to
the White House. He walked ND the stairs with
great dignity, carrying big bundle OF papers,
and the rural visitors who were fortunate
TO catch glimpse of the great man of ancient
lineage were much impressed by the sight. They
at once surmised that great affair OF state was
about to be discussed in grand council. Their
amazemert was unspeakable when, In about one
minute, they saw the Secretary turn about and
come straight down stairs again, bundle and all.
There was frown on his brow and detection in
his air. He had been informed, SO report says.
that the President was engageG-the old, old
story that is told to officeseekers and other I'M
welcome visitors often, but to Cabinet officers
went straight to his home on Sixteenth street
without returning TO the department
There are many rumors afioat about the stu
alton. One is that the President is vexed at
his Secretary of War that he does not want to
see him. another is that he actually intends to
freeze Mr.. Endicott out, and third report has
it that Mr.. Endicott's resignation already has
been requested. None of these stories can be
traced to any authoritative source, but the pre-
diction is freely made that Mr.. Endicott will be
out of the Cabinet within thirty days he
would have been out six months ago were 1t
not for his constitution al inability to take hint
but this time it will be something more than a
hint. This rebel flag business calls loudly for a
vicarious sacrifice, and both Eudicott and Drum
might as well pack their trunks and have the
quartermaster's wagons in readiness to cart them

order about the captured flags Why should he
know of the universal and deepseated senti-
ment that he so outraged Up 70 the time
that he became prominent he was sngularly
separated from all matters Of public and general
concern. When the war broke out he avoided
taking part in it, and by sending q substitute
was enabled to continue in the quiet and
cluded sort of life that he preferred. Few people
knew him. and consequently he knew and SYM
pathzed with few people. There is no reason
for supposing that the crisis which convulsed
the Nation and wrought the popular mind to
precedented tension, ever added an extra beat to
his pulse. The popular fears and passions had
but very moderate interest for him, and it was
from this ooscurity and self-isolation that by a
freak OF fortune he was put into politics and
rushed TO the White House. Not being origi-
nalfy inspired with the peculiar national senti-
ment which was born of the war and has sur
vived it, 1t is wonder that he failed even to be
conscious of its existence until the fact was
forced upon him in such an emphatic manner
that. although he did not share in the feeling,
he was compelled to submit to its dictation.
